## Summary

The Shropshire Council is planning a procurement process for the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information, Advice and Support Service (SENDIASS) located in the West Midlands, United Kingdom under the category of Special education services. The key milestone for engagement end date is set for 5th January 2024.

This planning tender by Shropshire Council presents an opportunity for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations to engage in early market consultation regarding the future commissioning of SENDIASS. Businesses in the special education services sector would be well-suited to participate in this pre-procurement engagement exercise to shape the council's decision-making process.

## Notice

Shropshire Council would like to take the opportunity to engage with potential providers and/or partners in the future commissioning of the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information, Advice and Support Service (SENDIASS). Please note that the purpose of this process is for the council to discuss with the market and inform our current understanding of key issues and themes relating to the provision of these services and also to discuss what the market has to offer to assist the Council to deliver the services from 1st September 2024. Please note that this is not the commencement of any formal procurement process and the Council is not committed to carrying out such a process. For the avoidance of doubt no information provided in response to this process will be used by the Council in assessing providers during any subsequent procurement process. This early market engagement exercise is intended to allow providers to outline their views and to provide information to the Council decision making process. The Council will consider the information received as a result of this exercise to help inform the Council's options appraisal and subsequent Council decision making process. Completed questionnaires (see Appendix 1 attached) should be returned to Jane Dudley Jane.dudley@shropshire.gov.uk by midday Friday 5th January 2024.
